     Medicinal products containing the same which are useful in treating pathologies involving a deficit in apoptosis, such as cancer, auto-immune diseases, and diseases of the immune system.

The present invention relates to new pyrrole compounds, to a process for their preparation and to pharmaceutical compositions containing them.

The compounds of the present invention are new and have very valuable pharmacological characteristics in the field of apoptosis and cancerology.

Apoptosis, or programmed cell death, is a physiological process that is crucial for embryonic development and maintenance of tissue homeostasis.

Apoptotic-type cell death involves morphological changes such as condensation of the nucleus, DNA fragmentation and also biochemical phenomena such as the activation of caspases which cause damage to key structural components of the cell, so inducing its disassembly and death. Regulation of the process of apoptosis is complex and involves the activation or repression of several intracellular signalling pathways (Cory S. et al., Nature Review Cancer, 2002, 2, 647-656).

Deregulation of apoptosis is involved in certain pathologies. Increased apoptosis is associated with neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease and ischaemia. Conversely, deficits in the implementation of apoptosis play a significant role in the development of cancers and their chemoresistance, in auto-immune diseases, inflammatory diseases and viral infections. Accordingly, absence of apoptosis is one of the phenotypic signatures of cancer (Hanahan D. et al., Cell 2000, 100, 57-70).

The anti-apoptotic proteins of the Bcl-2 family are associated with numerous pathologies. The involvement of proteins of the Bcl-2 family is described in numerous types of cancer, such as colorectal cancer, breast cancer, small-cell lung cancer, non-small-cell lung cancer, bladder cancer, ovarian cancer, prostate cancer, chronic lymphoid leukaemia, follicular lymphoma, myeloma, etc. Overexpression of the anti-apoptotic proteins of the Bcl-2 family is involved in tumorigenesis, in resistance to chemotherapy and in the clinical prognosis of patients affected by cancer. There is, therefore, a therapeutic need for compounds that inhibit the anti-apoptotic activity of the proteins of the Bcl-2 family.

In addition to being new, the compounds of the present invention have pro-apoptotic properties making it possible to use them in pathologies involving a defect in apoptosis, such as, for example, in the treatment of cancer, auto-immune diseases and diseases of the immune system.

Finally, the compounds of the invention may be linked to monoclonal antibodies or fragments thereof or linked to scaffold proteins that can be related or not to monoclonal antibodies.

Antibody fragments must be understood as fragments of Fv, scFv, Fab, F(ab′)2, F(ab′), scFv-Fc type or diabodies, which generally have the same specificity of binding as the antibody from which they are descended. According to the present invention, antibody fragments of the invention can be obtained starting from antibodies by methods such as digestion by enzymes, such as pepsin or papain, and/or by cleavage of the disulfide bridges by chemical reduction. In another manner, the antibody fragments comprised in the present invention can be obtained by techniques of genetic recombination likewise well known to the person skilled in the art or else by peptide synthesis by means of, for example, automatic peptide synthesizers such as those supplied by the company Applied Biosystems, etc.

Scaffold proteins that can be related or not to monoclonal antibodies are understood to mean a protein that contains or not an immunoglobulin fold and that yields a binding capacity similar to a monoclonal antibody. The man skilled in the art knows how to select the protein scaffold. More particularly, it is known that, to be selected, such a scaffold should display several features as follow (Skerra A., J. Mol. Recogn., 13, 2000, 167-187): phylogenetically good conservation, robust architecture with a well-known three-dimensional molecular organization (such as, for example, crystallography or NMR), small size, no or only a low degree of post-translational modifications, easy to produce, express and purify. Such a protein scaffold can be, but without limitation, a structure selected from the group consisting in fibronectin and preferentially the tenth fibronectin type III domain (FNfn10), lipocalin, anticalin (Skerra A., J. Biotechnol., 2001, 74(4):257-75), the protein Z derivative from the domain B of staphylococcal protein A, thioredoxin A or any protein with a repeated domain such as an “ankyrin repeat” (Kohl et al., PNAS, 2003, vol. 100, No. 4, 1700-1705), “armadillo repeat”, “leucine-rich repeat” or “tetratricopeptide repeat”. There could also be mentioned a scaffold derivative from toxins (such as, for example, scorpion, insect, plant or mollusc toxins) or protein inhibitors of neuronal nitric oxide synthase (PIN).

To a solution of 0.21 g (0.2 mmol) of the compound of Step A in 3 mL of acetic acid there are added 85 mg of sodium cyanoborohydride (5 equivalents). The reaction mixture is stirred for 3 hours at ambient temperature and then overnight at 50° C. There are then added 2.6 equivalents of sodium cyanoborohydride and the reaction mixture is heated at 50° C. for 3 hours. The operation is repeated for a second time (addition of 2.6 equivalents of sodium cyanoborohydride and then heating at 50° C. for 3 hours). After coevaporation of the acetic acid in the presence of toluene, the residue is taken up in 3 mL of methanol. The pH of the solution is adjusted to 12 using 1M methanolic potassium hydroxide solution. After stirring overnight at ambient temperature, the reaction mixture is poured into saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution and extracted with dichloromethane. The resulting organic phase is washed with brine, dried over Na₂SO₄, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. The product obtained is purified by chromatography over silica gel (dichloromethane/ethanol/ammonia 94/6/0.6) and then over a Lichroprep RP18 column (water/acetonitrile/trifluoroacetic acid). After evaporation of the acetonitrile, the product is neutralised with sodium bicarbonate. It is then extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic phase is dried over Na₂SO₄, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue obtained is dissolved in acetonitrile and converted into salt form with 1M aqueous HCl solution. After lyophilisation, the title product is obtained in the form of a solid.

PHARMACOLOGICAL STUDY Example A Inhibition of Bcl-2 by the Fluorescence Polarisation Technique

The fluorescence polarisation tests were carried out on microplates (384 wells). The Bcl-2 protein, labelled (histag-Bcl-2 such that Bcl-2 corresponds to the UniProtKB® primary accession number: P10415), at a final concentration of 2.50×10⁻⁸ M, is mixed with a fluorescent peptide (Fluorescein-REIGAQLRRMADDLNAQY), at a final concentration of 1.00×10⁻⁸ M in a buffer solution (Hepes 10 mM, NaCl 150 mM, Tween20 0.05%, pH 7.4), in the presence or absence of increasing concentrations of test compounds. After incubation for 2 hours, the fluorescence polarisation is measured.

The results are expressed in IC₅₀ (the concentration of compound that inhibits fluorescence polarisation by 50%) and are presented in Table 1 below.

The results show that the compounds of the invention inhibit interaction between the Bcl-2 protein and the fluorescent peptide described hereinbefore.

Example B In vitro Cytotoxicity

The cytotoxicity studies were carried out on the RS4;11 leukaemia tumour line.

The cells are distributed onto microplates and exposed to the test compounds for 48 hours.

The cell viability is then quantified by a colorimetric assay, the Microculture Tetrazolium Assay (Cancer Res., 1987, 47, 939-942).

Example C Induction of Caspase Activity in vivo

The ability of the compounds of the invention to activate caspase 3 is evaluated in a xenograft model of RS4;11 leukaemia cells.

1×10⁷ RS4;11 cells are grafted sub-cutaneously into immunosuppressed mice (SCID strain). 25 to 30 days after the graft, the animals are treated orally with the various compounds. Sixteen hours after treatment, the tumour masses are recovered and lysed, and the caspase 3 activity is measured in the tumour lysates.

This enzymatic measurement is carried out by assaying the appearance of a fluorigenic cleavage product (DEVDase activity, Promega). It is expressed in the form of an activation factor corresponding to the ratio between the two caspase activities:the activity for the treated mice divided by the activity for the control mice.

The results obtained show that the compounds of the invention are capable of inducing apoptosis in RS4;11 tumour cells in vivo.

Example D Quantification of the Cleaved Form of Caspase 3 in vivo

The ability of the compounds of the invention to activate caspase 3 is evaluated in a xenograft model of RS4;11 leukaemia cells.

1×10⁷ RS4;11 cells are grafted sub-cutaneously into immunosuppressed mice (SCID strain). 25 to 30 days after the graft, the animals are treated orally with the various compounds. After treatment, the tumour masses are recovered and lysed, and the cleaved (activated) form of caspase 3 is quantified in the tumour lysates.

The quantification is carried out using the “Meso Scale Discovery (MSD) ELISA platform” test, which specifically assays the cleaved form of caspase 3. It is expressed in the form of an activation factor corresponding to the ratio between the quantity of cleaved caspase 3 in the treated mice divided by the quantity of cleaved caspase 3 in the control mice.

The results show that the compounds of the invention are capable of inducing apoptosis in RS4;11 tumour cells in vivo.

Example E Anti-Tumour Activity in vivo

The anti-tumour activity of the compounds of the invention is evaluated in a xenograft model of RS4;11 leukaemia cells.

1×10⁷ RS4;11 cells are grafted sub-cutaneously into immunosuppressed mice (SCID strain). 25 to 30 days after the graft, when the tumour mass has reached about 150 mm³, the mice are treated orally with the various compounds in two different regimes (daily treatment for five days per week for two weeks, or two treatments weekly for two weeks). The tumour mass is measured twice weekly from the start of treatment.

The results obtained accordingly show that the compounds of the invention are capable of inducing significant tumour regression, which can be total, during the treatment period.
